FEASIBILITY STUDIES
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
Tier 1Basic ServicesThis level of services might rely on an existing survey, broker plan, rough drawings or sketches the Owner can supply to the Architect.
These level of services will be less accurate as the Architect won’t personally document the conditions to confirm the measurements and dimensions are accurate, but instead will rely on the accuracy of what is provided to AGD.
Tier 2Signature ServicesThese services might include exteriors that need to be documented in addition to the interior and might include more extensive documentation of the interior such as documenting existing power, lighting, ceilings, piping, and other interior elements beyond documentation of just doors, walls, and windows.
Tier 3Premium ServicesThis might include 3d renderings of the existing conditions and 3d diagrams showing what will be demoed in the renovation versus what is existing to remain or other premium services to help the client fully understand how the feasibility study impacts the existing site and buildings.
Step 1: Existing Conditions Documentation
Steps Towards a Successful Feasibility Study
Unless your site is completely vacant, or you’re looking at demoing all existing buildings and building new, then typically the first required step in a feasibility study is to document and evaluate the existing conditions of the site.
The more of the existing site and space you’re looking to renovate or reuse in the renovation; then the more time and level of services is required from amy green design in order to help you most effectively evaluate how the proposed work will affect the existing conditions and what can be reused in the renovation versus what needs to be relocated, removed, or replaced with new

Examples of amy green design’s Services
Existing ConditionsBelow shows an example of how amy green design documented and created existing power, telephone, thermostat, intecom, lighting, HVAC, plumbing, and other plan documentation in addition to just the existing doors, windows, and walls of an existing space in order to evaluate for the client which of existing items could be reused in the renovation.
existing plans such as those shown here are indicative of Tier 2 Signature Level of Existing Conditions Documentation Services from amy green design
Tier 1Basic ServicesIn this level of services clients provide AGD with their desired Program and AGD then simply implements that client’s program into the feasibility study.
Tier 2Signature ServicesIn this level of services clients further benefit from AGD’s knowledge in building codes, equipment needs, furniture and accessibility clearances as AGD works with clients to develop their Program with AGD at their side.
Tier 3Premium ServicesThis might include diagrams showing just how much space is allocated to certain uses such as corridors versus office spaces or calculating how many special occupants can be serviced in a special use such as daycare based on how many children of each age are allowed by code in the classrooms of the daycare.
Step 2: Programming & Kick Off MeetingArchitectural Programming is the study of the needs of the people, spaces, furniture, equipment, and functions of a building project.
It includes considerations such as how many people a restaurant wants to seat, how many two bedroom units a co-op building wants to accommodate, how many bathrooms a retail store wants for customers, how many conference rooms an office space wants, what people occupy each space, what equipment and furniture is in each space, and more!
In the lower tier level of services, clients provide amy green design with a list of their desired program and AGD then helps them implement it; whereas in higher levels of services, AGD can help the client create that Program utilizing AGD’s expertise in space planning, functional layouts, minimum room sizes, and building equipment needs to help clients consider the full extent of the Program needed for their Feasibility Study.

Tier 1Basic ServicesA feasibility study at this level is typically focused on representing allowable building heights, lot coverage, setbacks, Floor Area Ratio, parking requirements, and allowable building footprint in simple calculations and diagrams.
Tier 2Signature ServicesIn this level of services clients benefit from not just the Basic Level of Services they will also receive, but also Schematic Design level drawings and floor plans that will show the client how the site and building could be laid out.
Tier 3Premium ServicesThis can include 3d renderings to more visually present the Feasibility Study findings.
Step 3: Feasibility DrawingsThe level of Feasibility Drawings a client desires has the greatest impact on the cost and timeline of a Feasibility Study with amy green design.
Feasibility studies in Tier 1 Services are diagrammatic and focus on quick calculations and simple diagrams showing what would be allowed to be built on a site by current code, zoning, and other local regulations.
Feasibility studies in Tier 2 Services are performed at a Schematic Design level of services rather than just diagrammatically, and as such further show how stairs, elevators, circulation, parking, restrooms, units, support spaces, and more will be laid out across the building and site in order to achieve the client’s desired Program in actual floor plan layouts and designs.
At the end of Tier 2 Feasibility Study drawings, a client’s project is typically roughly 25% complete, which allows clients to quickly progress forward with their project at the end of a Tier 2 Feasibility Study with Schematic Design Drawings in hand from their Feasibility Study.

be upgraded?
consider removing and patching/repairing/replacing wall finishes where they are outdated - such as living room
if living room floor is made level with adjacent floor level, new framing and flooring will be needed and sliding door opening will likely need to be reframed
walls separating kitchen from living could be removed with a minimal strip of floor repatching and new half glass wall divider
paint seems to be ok, need to repaint throughout?
to address any concerns of people tripping or pushing their chair off the floor change from dining to living - if not made level - glass divider wall with an opening (no door) could be utilized as shown above. for design consistency, whatever glass system is utilized here, could match what sliding doors are used at front room off foyer. Portions of glass partition could even be just partial height.
Feasibility Study Design Inspirations
Sometimes client’s want to focus more on the aesthetics of the feasibility study rather than the code/zoning/developmentaspects, in which case from both interior to exterior we can show them how we can renovate existing properties to make them the spaces they’ve been dreaming of.

Tier 1Basic ServicesIn this level of services the client will handle the bidding process themselves, simply providing AGD with the results of the bidding process and how the client wants to proceed given the results of bidding.
Tier 2Signature ServicesIn this level of services the client handles the bidding process themselves, but AGD will provide the client with quotes for needed consultants and host a call with the client to review the results of bidding with the client and advise the client on how to best move forward with the project at the end of the Feasibility Study.
Recommendations from AGD at the end of the Study typically include an updated estimated project schedule, phasing plan, and total project budget to demonstrate to the client how those should move forward as a result of the findings of the Feasibility Study.
Tier 3Premium ServicesIn this level of services AGD handles the bidding process for the client including hosting bid walkthroughs for the Owner to meet each bidder on-site along with the Architect to answer all questions from bidders. AGD will also help the client select contractors to bid, negotiate with contractors, and help advise the client on how to select the best contractor for the project based on bid results.
Many clients elect for this level of service given the fact that if our 20 years experience in the industry can save you less than just 1% of your construction costs, then our expertise and negotiations in this process covers our fee to manage the bidding process for our clients.
Step 4: Bids from Contractors & Quotes from ConsultantsGathering quotes from contractors needed to complete the construction, and quotes from consultants needed to complete services such as engineering or testing on the project; allows clients to evaluate early on in the building design process exactly where budget and timeline for the project is coming in at in the current market.
Sample Bidding & Negotiation Service Tiers
Step 5: EvaluateAt the end of the Feasibility Study, AGD and the client will have a discussion about the next best steps for the client and their potential project based on the findings of the Feasibility Study. Most clients elect to move straight into a full scope proposal from AGD to complete the project.
The goal at the end of the Feasibility Study is typically for one of the following to occur:• request AGD provide a proposal for the remaining services needed to take the project into construction documents,
permitting, construction, and completion • request an addendum for AGD to adjust the Feasibility Study due to changes to project goals, schedule, and/or
budget prior to the client electing to move the project forward• place the project on hold while client secures additional financing or other resources needed to allow the client to
complete the project such as purchasing the land, leasing the space, combining lots, or other outcomes
amy green design’s services each build upon one another, so each service, such as a Feasibility Study, is a stepping stone helping bring clients closer towards successful completion of their project
clients can take everything learned during a Feasibility Study and apply it to moving their project forward
